Oanda - Worst Trading Platform Ever

LOL using their poor exuse for a trading platform - and they stand behind that piece to no end. "It works for everyone, this is our platform, eat it!". Arrogance beyond comprehension. They claim to be serious so they should secretly develop a new trading platform outside and then fire their entire IT staff...

Would rather have my capital placed with a firm that provides software that is rock solid. How is having a platform that goes down frequently different from turning it off manually? End result risk is to the investor.
 
What is it that you would like to see? What is missing? Please excuse me as I have never tried the others.

Oanda -

Internet connectivity can have glitches from time to time, however Oanda was the most sensitive to this by far and away, in their own strata comparing to other trading related software (both trading platforms and analytics). And that says a lot because I think the whole industry more or less sucks in terms of software reliability (Yes TradeStation that is you) when considering how much capital changes hands with this stuff. How are people playing 3D Doom 65 on-line with others and investors can not have trading software that works, period?

When FXTrade would drop and I have 4-5 other programs running just @#$%ing fine, thank you, that is not acceptable reliability to me. If multiple app's go down that is a different matter. Their software froze freqently and I could not afford to spend time rebooting my whole system just for their app. I do not know how people trade size with them.

It seemed that they claim and intend to have a favorable currency offering, but the end result to the investor is what matters. I require max reliablity and up time in 1996 and this is 2006. So when the market moves I can gun when the best and not manage software risk... I simply will not tolerate inability to execute. If I do, then I would rather sell oranges on the street corner than delude myself into thinking I have access to the markets.
 
I just cannot understand these posts complaining about connectivity.

I again must be fortunate. I have never experienced this. Wifey tells me because of my routines that I have in place, I probably do not realize this is why.

I have a routine of rebooting at the beginning of each trading shift and so does Wifey. Its just part of the changing of the guard and we do not even think about it anymore.

P.S. On weekends I run my virus scans, clean my registry and make ny updates that I need to...This is just what I do with all four of my computers. I also back up to the removeable drive. After you get accustomed to this it is nothing and you forget you do it. Twice a year I reload my operating systems. I keep all the times in my Trading Journal, which I recommend to each trader. Use it...refer to it....you will appreciate it.
 
I once snuck and read Electric's Journal. You would not know him. You think you know him cause maybe you read his blog or posts here. You would probably see other issues in the blog as it his his personal place...but his trading journal no one see's

You guys do not have a clue what he says or thinks about you.
